A webserver can be used to serve clickable images (called "maps"), but you need to write a handler in, e.g., Applescript or Hypercard to interpret the coordinates returned when a user clicks on the map. This approach is geared toward distinguishing between non-overlapping rectangular regions rather than extended, possibly twisted/folded features.Regards, Kevin
